Curating that “on vacation” feeling in my own backyard, home, and city – Lexington, Kentucky!
You know that feeling you get when you go on vacation? The excitement of traveling to a new place, staying in a clean and beautiful location (or camping in a tent, if that’s your vibe!), trying out all of the best local food, and exploring everything that place has to offer. Or maybe it’s somewhere you’ve been before that holds so many memories that your heart nearly bursts when you arrive back in that place that feels like your home away from home. Absolute relaxation, peace, and comfort. The freedom to enjoy your time exactly how you see fit.
That’s how I want to wake up feeling every day. I have always believed that God has something wonderful in store for me and my family if I am just willing to reach for it. Well, I’m reaching for it now! I hope you’ll follow along!
Hi y’all! I’m Stephanie!


I am a 30-something mom to two boys (2 and 6), the wife of a firefighter, and a full-time Project Management Consultant/Account Manager. Our life is BUSY and it’s easy to get weighed down by .. well .. life! The last year or so has been hard on us all. Between a worldwide pandemic, my job, my husband Nate being gone for nearly 2 days at a time on shift and in medic class, my 6-year-old starting virtual Kindergarten, and my 2-year-old being … TWO.. it has been a wild ride of learning how to multitask in absolute chaos 24/7. Let’s just say anxiety and mom-guilt have been at an all-time high!





Nate and I started to figure out little ways here and there to feel like we were on vacation in our own home and it has brought so much beauty (sanity!) to our lives and my mental health! I’ll be sharing a bit more on that soon! Be sure to join our mailing list below so you never miss out on our adventures!
This Lexington Life is a round-up of adventures in homemaking, motherhood, marriage, coffee & cocktails, good food, and cute clothes. If it makes my life as a busy mom better/easier, I’ll be sharing it here!
